Disney World! (days 1 & 2)

We believed in our idea - a family park where parents and children could have fun- together.

Thursday night after David got off work we drove down to Valdosta, GA. and stayed the night there. Friday morning we woke up and drove the rest of the way to Disney World. After getting a little lost trying to find our hotel, we decided to get lunch. We ate at the T-Rex restaurant in Downtown Disney. At first Nathan was a little scared of the big dino's, but he really started enjoying it when we told him that the dinosaur was roaring because he was sleepy and he wanted a nap.
After a short nap, we went to Magic Kingdom.
We got to watch the "Electric Parade". Nathan's favorite one was the Captain Hook one.

Saturday morning we had breakfast at our hotel. It was a character breakfast. Nathan got to meet Goofy and Pluto.


They even played dinosaurs with him.

After breakfast we went to Downtown Disney again. Nathan got to ride the choo choo train. He sang "all aboard the choo choo train. All aboard. All aboard" every time the train went around.

After another short nap we headed off to Hollywood Studio's, which I think was my favorite day of the trip. Our first stop was at the Disney Junior theater where we got to see all of Nathans favorite tv show charcters. Here is Handy Manny.
Little Einsteins.
And his new favorite, Jake and the Neverland Pirates.
And of course, Mickey Mouse Clubshouse.
Seeing Handy Manny
Meeting Lotso-hug-a-bear (who didn't actually smell like strawberries like he was supposed to).
Best of all Mickey Mouse. He just hugged and hugged him. Since it was the Fantasia Mickey, Nathan called him "Mickey good witch".



He has never seen the Incredible's, so he didn't know who they were. But he did get excited when we told him they were super heros. He had to show off his "big muscles" to them.

Eating his first Mickey Mouse ice cream. hen grandpa gave it to him he said very excitedly "for me?!".
After the longest wait in line we finally got to meet Buzz Lightyear and Woody! Nathan was so excited to meet them.

He saw this Buzz on the floor and dropped down and laid on it and was saying "it's Buzz Lightyear. To infinity and beyond". And Buzz and Woody just stood there puzzled that he would want to see the Buzz on the floor instead of the real one. It was really funny.


Then Nathan got to meet Sully and Mike Wazowski from Monsters Inc.

Sully got down to be closer to Nathans level, so Nathan sat down too.
Then they started playing together. Sully was tickling Nathan, and Nathan was loving every second of it.
They were jumping together and having fun. When it was time to leave, Sully stopped David and Sully put his hand over his heart. It was so sweet.

Nathan got to see Lightning McQueen and Tow Mater.


It was the best day a little boy could have!

Fantastic! Could it be a better time for him? All his favorites and he got to hug them?! I'm sure it was magic.
